We also started calling Abraham the best middleweight a long time ago, early in the reign of Sad Intentions.

Yep... of course, some people still don't realise that Sad Intentions was crappy all the time (AWFUL stamina) because "yo,, he beat B-Hopp you freakin' BUMS!!"
The funniest thing is I got blasted by Pantera as a "Euro"... yeah, cos I'm an Armenian living in Germany you dumb ****.

I was wrong about the outcome of this fight but based on Arthur's performance not on his skill level. Shelling up and letting other boxers beat on you is not a good quality. He showed his power, his clam D was effective but he took a lot of shots and countering abilities also good but his limitations are lack of work rate and offensive variety which will get exploited by better opposition. Miranda once again looked dull and slow. It now looks as if Pavlik stamped his damaged goods card some time ago.Yep... of course, some people still don't realise that Sad Intentions was crappy all the time (AWFUL stamina) because "yo,, he beat B-Hopp you freakin' BUMS!!"

Miranda is another example of people being enamored with sculpted physiques and funny trash talk over actual substance.Comment

Congratulations on your superior education and 20 years of observing the sport of boxing. The large collective of people who are not impressed with your cry for self validation are going to leave this thread now while you finish sucking your own ****.Comment

I haven't been posting much- so I don't mean to take a damn thing away from you or Kayjay- but I think there were quite a few fight fans who knew Miranda had tons of flaws. I don't think all the people who backed Edison did it out of confidence for his skills. I feel like it was a Gatti syndrome- lots of people just liked his style, love his display of KO power, and started rooting for him. Within that group of fans there were a select few who genuinely overrated him- I agree. I never did.
If anything I will be completely honest in saying I haven't rated Abraham as highly as you guys because I genuienly haven't been able to see as much of him. I download fights, and I'll keep track of Youtube uploads, but I haven't seen more than a few Abraham fights; as I'm sure much of the American public has. So, in this rematch I wasn't really able to use my boxing knowledge in knowing just how good of a boxer Arthur was without bull****ting myself. So, as often, when I don't know what I'm talking about I keep my mouth shut.
I knew Miranda was limited but I didn't know how technically skilled Abraham was. I still need to see more of him.Comment
